Even if he's wrong, he's earned the right to say stuff like this.

I love Butler but he needs to stop the woulda, coulda, shoulda. Fact is you're on vacation and NY/Boston are not.

He’s right, but it doesn’t matter.

Getting high on his Miami supply. A couple good playoff runs and this guy thinks he's an all time great. Go enjoy Cancun.

Kind of cringe. But I suppose that’s just Jimmy, hyper competitive and confident to the very end.

Yeah the Heat really missed his 45% eFG and 52% TS that he had in the ECF last season

Yeah probably not, but after last year's MIL series bro bro's got a lifetime pass to trip on his own dragon-slaying abilities. Legitimately one of the best PO series in the modern era.

We don't need to talk about the year before that against MIL, though, or BOS the year before that, etc.

Jimmy is so good that he could eliminate the Knicks without even playing them!

Jimmy got lucky last year against the Knicks, with the new roster and OG, and in this magical place where injuries don't happen and we had Randle it wouldn't have happened again, he's insane.


We just beat the team that beat his team in the play-in(that he played in) and is infinitely more talented.

Jimmy = :clown:

I mean he does earn the right to say this. The Heat did send Boston and NY home last year. It would of made the Eastern conference more interesting.

This. A humble Jimmy wouldn't even be in the NBA.
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

Easy to say while sipping icy drinks in a topical paradise.
He didn’t even attend game 5.

How about play then.
